Totals P1,960,000 P1,960,000

Your inquiries disclosed the following:

1. The partnership was organized on January 1, 2006 with the partners making equal amount of
contributions. The initial partnership agreement calls for an equal distribution of profit or loss among the
partners. The partnership agreement was amended effective January 1, 2007 to provide for the
following profit and loss ratio: King, 50%; Queen, 30%; and Prince, 20%. The amended partnership
agreement also stated that the accounting records were to be maintained on the accrual basis and that
any adjustments necessary for 2006 should be allocated according to the 2006 distribution of profits.

2. The following amounts were not recorded:

December 31 2007 December 31 2006
Prepaid insurance P7,000 P 6,500
Advances from customers 2,000 11,000
Accrued interest expense 4,500
The advances from customers were recorded as sales in the year the cash was received.

3. In 2007 the Partnership recorded a provision of P30,000 for anticipated declines in inventory prices.
You convinced the partners that the provision was unnecessary and should be removed from the books.

4. The partnership charged equipment purchased for P44,000 on January 3, 2007 to expense. This
equipment has an estimated life of ten years and an estimated salvage value of P4,000. The
partnership depreciates its capitalized equipment under the straight-line depreciation method.

5. The partners agreed to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts at two percent of
current accounts receivable and five percent of past due accounts. At December 31,
2006 the partnership had P540,000 of accounts receivable, of which only P40,000
was past due. At December 31, 2007 fifteen percent of accounts receivable was past
due, of which P40,000 represented sales made in 2006, and was generally considered
collectible. The partnership had written off uncollectible accounts in the year the
accounts became worthless as follows:
Accounts Written Off in
2007 2006
2007 accounts P 8,000
2006 accounts 10,000 2,500

6. Goodwill was recorded on the books in 2007 and credited to the partners capital accounts in the profit
and loss ratio in recognition of an increase in the value of the business resulting from improved sales
volume.

7. No other capital transactions took place in 2006 and 2007.
